Cross-institutional tandem professorship & junior research groups

Excellent research through new forms of networking

The Research Campus Central Hessen offers you an environment in which interdisciplinary collaboration is practiced between the three FCMH universities and the central non-university research institutions in the region. Because we are convinced that excellent research arises where individual strengths are combined and new ideas are given space to develop.

With this aim in mind, the FCMH promotes innovative approaches for early-career researchers. Two cross-institutional junior research groups and a tandem professorship, each jointly supported by an FCMH university and a non-university research institution, build bridges between institutions, disciplines, and career levels. In this way, we are creating a network that strengthens scientific talent, shares knowledge, and deepens cooperation.
